- Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.
- In a food processor or nutribullet, combine cottage cheese, lime juice and Truvia until smooth. Add remaining pie ingredients and pulse until smooth. Remove food processor container from mixer base and tap the base of the container to remove air bubbles.
- Pour pie mix over crust and gently tap the base of the dish against a towel-covered counter to remove any remaining air bubbles (pop any that come to the surface with a toothpick).

- Allow cheesecake to cool in the water bath until water is room temperature, then remove from water bath and refrigerate, uncovered overnight before serving.
